Vision & Values

College Vision

Koonung Secondary College is an innovative learning environment in which students develop a strong sense of citizenship, self-awareness, and strive to achieve their academic potential. As a 21st Century learning community, we recognise the importance of developing the global competencies required for individuals to be successful citizens in the future. These competencies include digital literacy, social skills, creativity, innovation, problem solving skills and leadership capacity

Our College has a strong commitment to providing our future leaders with the best possible set of skills, capabilities and knowledge to equip them to build a harmonious, prosperous and sustainable future.

To achieve this, our teachers are committed to working to develop and deliver an engaging curriculum. They will support our students with their time and hard work whilst investing in strong relationships to create a safe and challenging learning environment in which we can all grow together. Our students are encouraged to lead and contribute to the decision making that occurs at the College within the academic and co-curricula program.
